    (Selçuk Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi, 2021) Avcı, Burcu; Hussaini, Ali Akbar; Erdal, Mehmet Okan; Yıldırım, Murat
    Recently, interfacial layer such as metal oxide, insulator and polymer have been used by scientists between the metal and semiconductor to increase the stability of the metal-semiconductor heterojunctions. These materials have been varied according to their usage aims. In this study, graphene nanoribbons (GNR) and 7,7,8,8 Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ, C12H4N4) layer has been used as interfacial layer between the metal and semiconductor for photodiode applications. The TCNQ layer collects and extracts more electrons in the interface of the device and is used as electron acceptor material for organic solar cells. Herein, we fabricated Al/p-Si/Al, Al/p-Si/TCNQ/Al and Al/p-Si/TCNQ:GNR/Al heterojunctions by physical vapor deposition technique. I-V measurements has been employed under dark and various light illumination conditions to show dielectric properties of the fabricated heterojunctions. From current-voltage characteristics, we calculated the electronic parameters such as ideality factor, barrier heights, series resistances and rise times. It can be concluded from overall results that TCNQ and TCNQ:GNR layers had a major impact on quality and can be considered as quite proper materials for optoelectronic applications.

    Planktonlarda Siklomorfozis Üzerine Derleme
    (Selçuk Üniversitesi Fen Fakültesi, 2018) Altındağ, Ahmet; Berdi̇, Duygu; Yıldıztugay, Evren; Küçüködük, Mustafa
    Siklomorfizm veya mevsimsel polimorfizm zooplanktonlarda ilk olarak Lauterborn tarafından 1904 yılında tanımlanmıştır. Bu terim günümüzde küçük akuatik organizmalarda abiyotik (sıcaklık, türbülans, ıs?ık) ve biyotik (besin, predatör baskısı) çevrenin etkisiyle vücut yapılarında mevsimsel olarak meydana gelen fiziksel deg?is?iklikler olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Bu mevsimsel değişiklikler türün mevsimsel olarak iki farklı form gibi görünmesine neden olabilmektedir. Siklomorfosiz özellikle planktonik kladoseralar arasında daha fazla gözlemlenirken, ayrıca protozoa, dinoflagellat ve rotiferler arasında da yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Siklomorfosiz sonucu canlıların fiziksel görünüşlerinde ve davranışlarında birtakım değişiklikler söz konusudur. Siklomorfosiz akuatik ortamda organizmanın batma oranını azaltıp yüzmede kolaylık sag?larken, aynı zamanda planktonla beslenen predatörlere kars?ı da bir savunma mekanizması olarak kullanılmaktadır. Araştırmacılar tarafından bazı avcı türlerin salgıladığı kimyasalların (kairomonlar) canlıda kaudal spin, tepelik gibi vücut çıkıntılarına neden olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Bu derleme de planktonlardaki siklomorfosiz olayı ve meydana gelen değişikliklerden detaylı olarak bahsedilmiştir.

    Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) alleviate cobalt toxicity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by modulating photosynthesis, chloroplastic redox and antioxidant capacity
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Özfidan Konakçı, Ceyda; Yıldıztugay, Evren; Elbasan, Fevzi; Küçükoduk, Mustafa; Türkan, İsmail
    The role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S)/nitric oxide (NO) in mitigating stress-induced damages has gained interest in the past few years. However, the protective mechanism H2S and/or NO has towards the chloroplast system through the regulation of redox status and activation of antioxidant capacity in cobalt-treated wheat remain largely unanswered. Triticum aestivum L. cv. Ekiz was treated with alone/in combination of a H2S donor (sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS,600?M)), a NO donor (sodium nitroprusside (SNP,100?M)) and a NO scavenger (rutin hydrate (RTN,50?M)) to assess how the donors affect growth, water relations, redox and antioxidant capacity in chloroplasts, under cobalt (Co) concentrations of 150-300 ?M. Stress decreased a number of parameters (growth, water content (RWC), osmotic potential (??), carbon assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, intercellular CO2 concentrations, transpiration rate and the transcript levels of rubisco, which subsequently disrupt the photosynthetic capacity). However, SNP/NaHS counteracted the negative effects of stress on these aforementioned parameters and RTN application with stress/non-stress was reversed these effects. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and TBARS were induced under stress in spite of activated ascorbate peroxidase (APX). SNP/NaHS under stress increased activation of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), APX, glutathione reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), ascorbate (tAsA) and glutathione (GSH). In conclusion, NaHS/SNP are involved in the regulation and modification of growth, water content, rubisco activity and up-regulation of ascorbate-glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH) in chloroplast under stress. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    (MDPI AG, 2020) Szucs, Edina; Stefanucci, Azzurra; Dimmito, Marilisa Pia; Zádor, Ferenc; Pieretti, Stefano; Zengin, Gökhan; Vécsei, László
    Kynurenine (kyn) and kynurenic acid (kyna) are well-defined metabolites of tryptophan catabolism collectively known as “kynurenines”, which exert regulatory functions in host-microbiome signaling, immune cell response, and neuronal excitability. Kynurenine containing peptides endowed with opioid receptor activity have been isolated from natural organisms; thus, in this work, novel opioid peptide analogs incorporating L-kynurenine (L-kyn) and kynurenic acid (kyna) in place of native amino acids have been designed and synthesized with the aim to investigate the biological effect of these modifications. The kyna-containing peptide (KA1) binds selectively the ?-opioid receptor with a Ki = 1.08 ± 0.26 (selectivity ratio ?/?/? = 1:514:10000), while the L-kyn-containing peptide (K6) shows a mixed binding affinity for ?, ?, and ?-opioid receptors, with efficacy and potency (Emax = 209.7 + 3.4%; LogEC50 = ?5.984 + 0.054) higher than those of the reference compound DAMGO. This novel oligopeptide exhibits a strong antinociceptive effect after i.c.v. and s.c. administrations in in vivo tests, according to good stability in human plasma (t1/2 = 47 min). © 2020 by the authors.

    (Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Zengin, Gökhan; Mahomoodally, Mohamad Fawzi; Sinan, K. I.; Picot-Allain, M. C. N.; Yıldıztugay, Evren; Cziáky, Z.; Jek?, J.
    The Crocus and Cyclamen genus have been reported to possess diverse biological properties. In the present investigation, two geophytes from these genus, namely Crocus pallasi and Cyclamen cilicium have been studied. The in vitro antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and cytotoxic effects of the methanol extracts of Crocus pallasii and Cyclamen cilicium aerial and underground parts were investigated. Antioxidant abilities of the extracts were investigated via different antioxidant assays (metal chelating, radical quenching (ABTS and DPPH), reducing power (CUPRAC and FRAP) and phosphomolybdenum). Cholinesterases, amylase, tyrosinase, and glucosidase were used as target enzymes for detecting enzyme inhibitory abilities of the samples. Regarding the cytotoxic abilities, breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB 231 and MCF-7) and prostate cancer cell lines (DU-145) were used. The flowers extracts of Crocus pallasii and C. cilicium possessed the highest flavonoid content. The highest phenolic content was recorded from C. cilicium root extract (47.62 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract). Cyclamen cilicium root extract showed significantly (p < 0.05) high radical scavenging (94.28 and 139.60 mg trolox equivalent [TE]/g extract, against DPPH and ABTS radicals, respectively) and reducing potential (173.30 and 109.53 mg TE/g extract, against CUPRAC and FRAP, respectively). The best acetylcholinesterase, glucosidase and tyrosinase inhibition was observed in C. cilicium root (4.46 mg GALAE/g; 15.75 mmol ACAE/g; 136.99 mg KAE/g, respectively). Methanolic extracts of C. pallasii and C. cilicium showed toxicity against breast cancer cell lines. In light of the above findings, C. cilicium might be considered as an interesting candidate in the development of anti-cancer agent coupled with antioxidant properties. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

    (SPRINGER, 2020) Yildirim, Murat.; Kocyigit, Adem.; Sarilmaz, Adem.; Ozel, Sultan Suleyman.; Kus, Mahmut.; Ozel, Faruk.
    Ternary-structured thiospinels have attracted great attention in recent years for energy applications due to their attractive characteristics such as simple production, earth-abundant components and non-toxic nature. In this work, copper cobalt sulfide (CuCo2S4 or carrollite) thiospinel nanocrystals were synthesized by a hot-injection method, and detailed electrical and optoelectronic characterizations were performed in a Schottky device. The synthesized nanocrystals were used as an interfacial layer between the Au metal and p-Si semiconductor to obtain an Au/CuCo2S4/p-Si device. The structural and morphological characterizations confirmed the crystallinity, nanostructure and composition of the CuCo2S4 nanocrystals. The I-V and C-V measurements were employed to characterize the Au/CuCo2S4/p-Si device for various illumination intensities. The obtained device exhibited good rectifying and photodiode properties as well as good photocapacitance. The Au/CuCo2S4/p-Si device can be used and improved for optoelectronic applications.

    Synthesis of novel tetrazine based D-pi-A organic dyes for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2020) Aslan, Emre.; Karaman, Merve.; Yanalak, Gizem.; Bilgili, Hakan.; Can, Mustafa.; Ozel, Faruk.; Patir, Imren Hatay.
    Two novel donor-pi-acceptor (D-pi-A) dyes, called as MK-2 and MK-8, are synthesized. Their structural, optical and electrochemical properties are investigated by NMR, absorption/photoluminescence spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetry techniques, respectively. Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution properties of these D-pi-A dyes are explored by using triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron donor under anaerobic conditions and visible light irradiation with or without co-catalysts (Cu2WS4 and Pt) for the first time. Photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities of these dyes are studied by using TiO2 coated FTO electrodes and powdered TiO2 (Degussa P25), respectively. Photoelectrochemical response of MK-2/TiO2 and MK-8/TiO2 are figured out in the order of 180 mu A cm(-1) and 80 A cm(-1). The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution amounts of MK-2/TiO2, MK-2/TiO2/Cu2WS4, MK-2/TiO2/Pt, MK-8/TiO2, MK-8/TiO2/Cu2WS4 and MK-8/TiO2/Pt are turned out to be 565, 920, 1828, 374, 522 and 1260 mu molg(-1) h(-1), respectively. Dye/TiO2 photocatalysts are displayed good stability in the both photochemical HER experiments. The alteration in the HER activities of MK-2 and MK-8 is explained by molecule structures of dyes. The proposed mechanism of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is clarified by using electrochemical band levels of each constituent.

    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020) Genc, Munevver Tuna.; Yanalak, Gizem.; Arslan, Gulsin.; Patir, Imren Hatay.
    Carbon Quantum dots (CQDs) were obtained from Gingko biloba by using microwave technique, which is easy, time-saving, cost-effective, non-toxic and environmental friendly way. TiO2 were sensitized by green-prepared CQDs to obtain CQDs/TiO2 composite. The characterizations of the CQDs and CQDs/TiO2 were performed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HR-TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic (XPS), Photoluminescence (PL) and Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of CQDs/TiO2 system was studied under visible light (lambda > 420 nm) irradiation in the aqueous solution by using triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron donor. When Pt was used as a co-catalyst, CQDs/TiO2/Pt exhibited improved hydrogen evolution rate (1502 mu mol h(-1)g(-1)) compared to CQDs/TiO2 composite (665 mu mol h(-1)g(-1)).

    Assessment of antioxidant system and enzyme/nonenzyme regulation related to ascorbate-glutathione cycle in ferulic acid-treated Triticum aestivum L. roots under boron toxicity
    (TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2020) Konakçı, Ceyda Özfidan; Yıldıztugay, Evren; Elbasan, Fevzi; Yıldıztugay, Ayşegül; Küçüködük, Mustafa
    Ferulic acid (FA; 3-methoxy-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) can eliminate stress-induced damage because of its ability to induce antioxidant activity under stress. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of FA on water status, antioxidant system, and lipid peroxidation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) roots exposed to boron (B) stress. Plants were grown in hydroponic culture containing the combination or alone form of 25-75 mu M FA and 4-8 mM B. Stress significantly decreased growth (RGR), water content (RWC), proline content (Pro), and osmotic potential (psi(H)). However, FA alleviated the decrease in RGR, RWC, and Pro content. Compared to the control groups, stress decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), but an increase was only observed in glutathione reductase (GR) activity. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content accumulated with B stress. Besides, a notable decrease was observed in the scavenging activity of hydroxyl radical (OH center dot); thus, wheat roots had high lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content). In response to stress, FA triggered the activities of SOD, POX, and APX. Moreover, when FA was made present in stressed wheat roots, we observed the enhanced activities of dehydroascorbate reductase, and monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate contents which are related to ascorbate-glutathione cycle, so FA could maintain ascorbate (AsA) regeneration. However, when wheat roots were treated with stress, FA did not induce the regeneration of glutathione because of decline in GR activity. Due to successful elimination of H2O2 content, the exogenous application of FA alleviated B-induced lipid peroxidation in wheat. Consequently, FA eliminated the damage induced by B stress via the increased POX and the enzymes related to Asada-Halliwell pathway (AsA-GSH cycle) in wheat roots.

    (KAHRAMANMARAS SUTCU IMAM UNIV REKTORLUGU, 2019) Yaman, Cennet.; Ulukuş, Deniz.; Tugay, Osman.
    Ruta L. is a genus of the Rutaceae family, mostly used as a traditional medicinal plant. In this study, the antioxidant activities of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of wild Ruta chalepensis L. (above ground plant) and Ruta montana L. (leaves-flowers, stems) were assessed. The results showed that methanol extract of flower-leave of Ruta montana provided the highest yield of extraction (15.11%, 151.12 +/- 0.78 mg/g) whereas the lowest yield was obtained in ethanol extract of stems of Ruta montana (2.67%, 26.66 +/- 0.50 mg/g). Total flavonoid content in dry weight of methanol and ethanol extracts of Ruta chalepensis was found higher than other extracts except methanol leaves-flowers extract of Ruta montana. It was determinated that ethanol extracts of Ruta montana stem sustained less total flavonoid and phenolic content. Also, radical scavenging activities such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) and 2, 2'-Azino-Bis-3-Ethylbenzothiazoline-6-Sulfonic acid (ABTS) of extracts was investigated, and according to the solvent, it was revealed that extracts of Ruta chalepensis exhibited high activity. As a result, it has been discussed that Ruta can be used as a natural antioxidant by taking advantage of these data.

The results imparted that interface states (N-ss), series resistance (R-s), barrier height (Phi(b)) and the concentration of acceptor atoms (N-a) influenced frequency changes. The dielectric parameters such as dielectric constant (epsilon'), dielectric loss (epsilon ''), loss tangent (tan delta), real and imaginary parts of the electric modulus (M' and M '') and ac electrical conductivity (sigma) values were calculated from impedance spectroscopy measurements and discussed in details for changing frequency and voltage for various In doped ZnO thin film interlayers. The dielectric properties of the Al/In:ZnO/p-Si heterojunctions were affected both In doping concentration and the frequency and voltage changes. The Al/In:ZnO/p-Si heterojunctions can be considered for industrial applications to increase the control.
